Blood pressure is normally taken on the upper arm at the level of the heart. Suppose, however, that a patient has both arms in casts so that you cannot take his blood pressure in the usual way. You have him stand up and take the blood pressure at his calf, which is 95.0 cm below his heart. The density of blood is 1060 kg/m3. 1) What would normal systolic blood pressure be? (Express your answer to three significant figures.) mmHg mmHg You currently have 0 submissions for this question. Only 6 submission are allowed.

Blood pressure is normally taken on the upper arm at the level of the heart. Suppose, however, that a patient has his arms in a cast, so you cannot take his blood pressure in the usual way. If you have him stand up and take the blood pressure at his calf, which is 85.5 cm below his heart, what would be the magnitude of the difference between this measurement of blood pressure and a normal blood-pressure measurement? The density of...

BLOOD AND FLUID QUESTION 1 (0A patient's blood pressure taken at the arm is 120 mmHg systolic and 70 mmHg diastolic. What would you expect the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic pressures) to be at the top of the head given that this point is 40 cm above the measurement point? Remember blood pressure is a gauge pressure and that 1 kPa = 7.5 mmHg. (The density of blood is about 1060 kg/m.) Choose one: a. 89...

Each time your heart beats, your blood pressure first increases and then decreases as the heart rests between beats. The maximum and minimum blood pressures are calledthe systolic and diastolic pressures, respectively. Your blood pressure reading is written as systolic/diastolic. A reading of 120/80 is considered normal. A certainperson's blood pressure is modeled by the function p(t)=115 25sin (160pit) where p(t) is the pressure in mmHg, at time t measured in minutes. a) Find the period of pb) FInd the...

1. Systolic blood pressure of the vein equal to 70 mmHg. (True/ False) 2. During exercise, for example, a greater percentage of the total blood flow is diverted to skeletal muscles leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure. (True/ False) 3. In measuring diastolic blood pressure, heart sound must be heard by the stethoscope when the sphygmomanometer recording normal blood pressure of 80 mmHg. (True/ False) 4. High blood cholesterol interferes with the elasticity of the arteries resulting in...

a. Identify situations when a blood pressure would not be measured on a client’s arm or leg. b. State the rationale for the following nursing actions: place client’s arm at heart level, palm up palpate the brachial artery. Position cuff 2.5 cm above the brachial pulse. Center cuff above artery after inflating the cuff to find point at which brachial pulse disappears, wait 30 seconds before re-inflating the cuff inflate cuff to 30 mm Hg above palpated systolic pressure c....

Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Assume that the paired sample data is a simple random sample and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the difference between the measurements from the two arms. What can be concluded? Right arm measurements are 143, 133, 138, 130, 138 left arm measurements are 170, 167, 176, 139, 142. Identify the...

need help asap
introduction Blood pressure measurements are always expressed by two numbers, the systolic pressure over the diastolic pressure. The blood pressure cuff is inflated until the air pressure within the cuff exceeds the blood pressure in the artery in the arm. This causes the artery to collapse, temporarily shutting down the flow of blood. Then, pressure in the cuff is slowly reduced until air pressure in the cuff becomes less than pressure in the artery, allowing blood to...
